Chapter 10

“Oh no. Not now. They came and picked them up on Sunday.” She was happy to report this, like I was going to get pissed if my cousin Bobby left them here. I was pissed. What kind of scam was Bobby running?

She backed up a couple of steps as I thought about this.

“Did I do the wrong thing?” she asked Jeff.

“No. No, you’re okay,” I growled, not liking what I was thinking about Bobby. I could feel the tension in my eyebrows as they snapped together.

As I was thinking, Jeff jumped in. “Can we see the garage?”

Her face scrunched up like she was confused. “All right. But I don’t understand—”

“Just want to make sure they got all the boards and cleaned up after themselves,” he cut in soothingly. “We wouldn’t want there to be some stray nails or anything left behind to do any damage.”
